Olivia Keeps the Gearhead Spirit Going for Granddad Hap

My name is Olivia Straw and every time I brag about my uncle’s low down Monza (Harold Straw), I pull up your site. Thank you so much for having this photo and sharing it publicly.

On a line above my uncle’s name is says “something” (maybe built by?) HAP Straw. Hap is obviously my grandfather and I followed in his footsteps. I grew up watching him build a beautiful classic ‘Vette and loved nothing more than handing him tools or watching him weld. Not only am I also a mechanic, welder, and painter, but I wear my grandfather’s solid gold wrench charm with “HAP” engraved on it.


Thanks again. I love your page.

Thanks, Olivia! I think you just became a ‘keeper’ to thousands of motorheads out there! Thanks to Bill Duke and our late friend Mike Ditty for the great Econo Funny story and photos. Now, for a few more photos of our new friend. BP
